’Quarry Hill Lookout’

Representative of a quality in architectural design, this substantial residence located right in the heart of Dover is quintessentially contemporary... Light-filled spaces inspire!

Cygnet township is just 40 minutes away, similar to Dover with a village ’feel’ and a choice of eateries. Anticipate the growth in Dover, the Post Office Cafe and The Coffee Tree are two great little spots to meet with friends and the area has become a huge drawcard.

Sitting happily in the landscape, an elevated position provides a spectacular view over the pristine waters of Port Esperance to Adamsons Peak.

Dover dates to the 1840s, once a convict probation station and is recognised as the southern-most town of significance just a 1 hour scenic drive from the city fringe, located on the western shores of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel... A pretty village overlooking the small islands of Faith, Hope and Charity.

Set on the site of an old quarry on an extensive 2651sqm allotment, Quarry Hill Lookout is a relatively new build, comprehensively reconstructed in 2009, the exterior clad in corrugated steel Colorbond and Macrocarpa pine vertical timber boards weathering to a lovely silvery hue.

The interiors are generously proportioned and extend over two levels, the clever use of expansive glazing where possible employing a nautical theme, porthole apertures admitting air and an abundance of natural light in addition to the fabulous vista over the bay.

An open plan living area features double height ceilings, polished timber floors and a freestone wall, a fireplace for wood heating. A sunroom adjacent to this area is a lovely retreat, perfect for a reading room or office. The kitchen is well appointed, composite stone veneer bench tops gleam with quality appliances.

The upper level is mezzanine suspended above the living space. Two double bedrooms, each with their own new, sleek en suite, share a spacious casual living area which extends to a viewing deck.

A third bedroom on the ground floor enjoys level access and is serviced by a bathroom which includes a bathtub. A utility room opposite the entrance provides great storage and a laundry.

Outdoors there is a small but productive kitchen garden, fruit trees include a peach, apricot, apple and greengage. Wraparound timber decks, the balustrades capped in steel, invite seasonal alfresco dining and extend the living space.

The property is on town water and gas for hot water, however there is a supplementary water tank on site.

Walking distance to Kent beach, a choice of eateries and Dover High School. The property currently offers overnight accommodation or extended visits on Stayz and Airbnb. St Imre Vineyard, Tahune Air Walk, Hastings Cave and the Hartz Mountains are in the area. Hopetoun Conservation Reserve is also in the vicinity. There is even a great sushi restaurant nearby at Geeveston!

Plenty of off street parking, the position set back from the main road ensuring relative privacy and security.

This is a fabulous opportunity to acquire a superb property, continue the boutique accommodation as a secondary income or be a little self indulgent and make it your very own weekend escape!
